SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August
Home Inc, the leading provider of smart locks and smart home access
products and services that make life more simple and secure, today
announced that its popular August
Doorbell Cam will support Apple HomeKit via the new Home app in iOS
10. This was announced this morning at the Apple Worldwide Developer’s
Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco.

The August Doorbell Cam lets consumers see and speak with visitors at
their door, from anywhere, using a smartphone. Similar to the August
Smart Lock, which already supports HomeKit, the Doorbell Cam with
HomeKit will also support Siri™ voice commands. This gives customers
another great way to interact with their home and their August Doorbell
Cam such as turning on the Doorbell Cam camera to view live activity
outside their door.

New HomeKit capabilities will be added to the Doorbell Cam in late Fall
after the new profile is finalized and the product is certified. These
features will be delivered to existing Doorbell Cam customers through a
free, automatic software update.

“We have been working closely with Apple on HomeKit from its early
beginnings and we already have a very successful HomeKit product with
our second generation August Smart Lock,” said Jason Johnson, CEO of
August Home Inc. “Knowing that HomeKit would evolve, we developed our
Doorbell Cam with the Apple HomeKit-compatible MFI chip in the device to
be ready to support HomeKit capabilities as soon as Apple included
support for video cameras in HomeKit.”

In April, August began shipping the award-winning 2nd generation August
Smart Lock, which supports HomeKit including the ability to use Siri to
lock or unlock doors and check the status of doors using voice commands
on an iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Apple Watch and AppleTV.

August Smart Home Access Solution

The August Doorbell Cam, August Smart Lock and August Smart Keypad
create the complete Smart Home Access solution allowing people to manage
their front door from anywhere. The August Doorbell Cam lets consumers
see and speak with visitors at the door, from anywhere, using a
smartphone. The August Smart Lock turns a smartphone into a smart key
where consumers can lock and unlock their door, create virtual keys for
guests, and keep track of who comes and goes with a 24/7 activity log.
The August Smart Keypad also lets users create unique entry codes for
family, friends and service providers to unlock an August Smart Lock
without a traditional key or smartphone.
